Prodalim, a global leader in juice and specialty ingredients solutions, has acquired Better Juice, a food-tech company specializing in natural sugar reduction technologies. Financial terms were not disclosed. The acquisition strengthens Prodalim’s ability to support health-driven reformulation across beverages and adjacent food categories, including confectionery and dairy.
Better Juice has developed a proprietary enzymatic process that converts fruit sugars into non-digestible components such as dietary fibers, enabling significant calorie reduction while preserving the fruit’s natural flavor, mouthfeel, and nutritional integrity, without the use of artificial sweeteners or sugar substitutes. The technology addresses a growing market opportunity: the global sugar reduction and taste modulation market is estimated at approximately $1.8 billion in 2025, with expected annual growth of 6 to 7% driven by regulatory pressure and shifting consumer preferences.
Prodalim plans to implement a production line at its Winter Garden, Florida, facility, with manufacturing expected to begin in the second half of 2026. The acquisition reflects Prodalim’s broader transformation into a purpose-driven, vertically integrated ingredient solutions company, organized across three divisions: Juice Solutions, Specialty Ingredients and Solutions, and SOLOS, a premium de-alcoholization platform serving the fast-growing no- and low-alcohol segment.
